Been buying that ammo, cheap enough and seams good quality. What are your thoughts on it, Joe?

Also, was the ammo damaged from the wet boxes?

I plan on getting one of those plug in dehumidifier thingamabobbers soon, too.

I used a goldenrod while I live near the coast. Kept everything nice and dry. Using dessicant packs and Rem MoistureGuard now. need to wire in another goldenrod.

Dessicants, like the "plug in to dry" type I use, need to be monitored. They absorb to the saturation point but once there, the moisture seeks dryer objects, like ammo boxes.

Not a big deal in a safe inside an AC'd house closet but major consideration in a humid shed or garage. I check mine often and keep the indicators deep blue.

Keep buying ZQ...in some Walmarts it is $2 higher now. Grab it all you can at under $10. It is good ammo, sought after by guys on the boards who live in parts of America where it isn't sold.

Zero damage to the ammo. I could have saved the boxes, were only damp, but chucked the ammo in a can. Not even tarnished.
